After riding a Rocky Mountain Element MSL for nearly two seasons I had the opportunity in September 2012 to convert to the new 29er variation of the Element. I transferred across all of my components (sans wheels and fork) from my 26” Element. The first thing I noticed once the new Element was built up was how slick it looked with all the internal cable routing. One point of complaint I had regarding the MSL was the dropper post cable, no matter how I routed it, always seemed to be getting in the way either if the rear wheel or the linkage. On my RSL there is now internal cable routing for the dropper post and this solved that problem nicely.
